Abstract excerpt
Angiogenesis is a precise process mediated by a variety of signals and the environmental niche. Although the essential trace element zinc and its homeostasis are essential for maintaining proper cellular functions, whether zinc plays a role in angiogenesis is currently unknown. Using zebrafish embryos as a model system, we found that zinc treatment significantly increased the expression of the slc39a5 gene, which...
